Two plots of land, one – see Robin Hoods (Winnersh) (1) – on the west, the other one the east side of Robinhood Lane in Winnersh were known locally as the Robin Hoods in the mid-19th century.

The easternmost of these was a roughly rectangular area on the east side of Robinhood Lane, south of Priory Court or Robin Hood Way, north of Danywern Drive, extending perhaps a little farther east than Annesley Gardens or Deerhurst Drive. The tithe award for Hurst (1841) lists it as "Robin Hoods", the owner Robert Palmer, Esq., occupier William Peaple, state of cultivation "Arable", area 6 acres, 2 roods and 36 perches (27215.11 m2).[1] Since both areas are listed as "Robin Hoods" in the tithe award, we must assume that this was their collective name.

The plot immediately north of this easternmost "Robin Hood" was known as "May Piddle".[2] It is hardly possible to say whether the element "May" refers to the month or the plant, so any attempt to connect the "Robin Hoods" with May festivities in the area must remain pure speculation. For another speculative attempt to account for the Robin Hood place-names in this vicinity, see the page on Robinhood Lane (Winnersh).
